Academic probation

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Unreferenced for nearly three years, fails WP:V. Another user removed the PROD without making any attempt to improve the article. Stifle (talk) 08:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC) 
 * It's clearly sourceable and a key college term Keep Secret account 16:09, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: Not sure that it needs a reference, one of those 'common knowlege' type subjects. Would be nice to have a statement like "For example, the University of [X] places a student on academic probation when their GPA falls below 2.0." and then cite the University's web page. There would be a stronger case for Keep if there were more material, as it is it could might just as well be moved to Wiktionary. There seem to be several links to this page and probably may more that could link to it, e.g. Wilson Homer Elkins.--RDBury (talk) 02:48, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. The subject is clearly verifiable, however, the article in its current state does not meet WP:V. Location (talk) 10:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I just Googled the term and found lots of references that could back up the information here. Yoninah (talk) 21:31, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - a term used by every college and university for which I was a student or employee. This can be sourced easily. Bearian (talk) 22:05, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, the subject is more than a dictionary definition. As this book source shows, the topic is the subject of scholarly analysis. For example, what is the fate of students put on probation? Do differing policies help or harm the student? Are transfer students more screwed than native students when put on probation? This could be a FA-class article.
